Now we move to fiber, probably my smallest section of stash. I've kept my fiber to one bin, and have mostly been successful. I am a very sporadic spinner, and quite slow so I have to keep it small, ish.

The bin

The bin, with supervisor.

Some fiber from Into the Whirled. Her Polworth is gorgeous and these are named based on Dr. Who episodes

A bump of fiber from Loop. I can never get it to pull as a center pull ball, but pulling from the outside works for me.

Some Juliespins fiber. This is always gorgeous and soft, I love looking at her Etsy store.

I plan to make these into a fractal gradient. Three ply as well. Just need to get my courage up.

Camel, merino and silk. Gorgeous and soft.

Pulling out all my fiber inspired me to start a new project. Some of my oldest merino. And a gift from my parents. 🙂

I've already finished the first bobbin, but haven't been able to get to the next because of life. Darn it.

Using Regia Zoofari in white. Used Cat Borhdi’s Sweet Tomato Heel, which i learned on her youtube channel. It fits very nicely, but isn’t my favorite heel. Nice to try something different.

I’ve cast on a couple of new projects as well:

a crochet cowl and some dk weight socks hopefully both will be quick

Also, new yarn!

No, I haven’t already broken my cold sheeping, but this was my last splurge from 2014. I had a credit at the Loopy Ewe and knew that it would make cold sheeping difficult, (especially in the spring/summer when I’m missing new yarn input to the stash) so I went ahead and used it just after xmas.

Here it is:

I wanted bright, since the early months of the year are so dreary.

Kitt has a new trick, sleeping in my lap. I’ve always wanted a lap cat. 🙂
